WRHA THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASES IN THE WINNIPEG HEALTH REGION 2
THE WINNIPEG HEALTH REGION (WHR)
• The largest health region in the province of Manitoba with a population of 743,397 in 2014, more than half of the total provincial population.
• Includes the capital city of Winnipeg, and the rural municipalities of East St. Paul and West St. Paul.
• For planning and management purposes, the WHR is divided into 12 community areas.
• The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) is responsible for the delivery of acute care, public health and other community services to the residents of the WHR.
• In 2012, the Churchill Health Region became an operating division of the WRHA; however, residents of Churchill are not included in this surveillance report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report, The epidemiology of communicable diseases in the
Winnipeg Health Region 2011-2016, provides a regional
surveillance summary of select infections/diseases listed as
reportable under The Manitoba Public Health Act (with the
exception of influenza, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted
and blood-borne infections as they are reported elsewhere).
The report is divided into five broad disease categories (i)
Enteric, food, and waterborne diseases (ii) Respiratory and
direct contact diseases (iii) Vaccine preventable diseases, and
(iv) Vector-borne and zoonotic diseases, and iv) Emerging
infectious diseases. Within each section, diseases are presented
separately with the type of analysis based on the number of
cases reported in 2016. As this is a technical surveillance
report, results are limited to statistical tabulations by age, sex,
and geographical data.
This report contains the most current description of the broad
patterns of communicable diseases in the Winnipeg Health
Region and is intended to provide evidence to inform the
planning of programs and policies for prevention.

INTRODUCTION
This report focuses on communicable
diseases and infections that are notifiable in
Manitoba under The Public Health Act1 (with
the exception of influenza, tuberculosis, and
sexually transmitted and blood-borne
infections, which are reported elsewhere).
Communicable diseases (CD) are investigated
and managed by a team of Public Health
Nurses, Public Health Inspectors,
Communicable Disease Coordinators and
Medical Officers of Health/Team Managers,
and analyzed by Population Health
Surveillance epidemiologists, with the primary
goal of reducing the transmission and spread
of CDs, and ensuring public safety.
As the prevention, treatment, and
management of communicable diseases
remains a priority for the Winnipeg Regional
Health Authority (WRHA), epidemiologic
information at the regional level is essential
for program and planning purposes.
Therefore, this report provides the most up-
to-date information available on the
descriptive epidemiology of select
communicable diseases in the Winnipeg
Health Region (WHR).

METHODS
DATA SOURCE AND CASE DEFINITIONS
Case definitions, reporting requirements and
guidelines for case management and contact
investigation are outlined in the provincial
disease management protocols2. Laboratory
and clinical case reports are submitted by
laboratories and health care providers to
Manitoba Health; and subsequently referred
to Regional Health Authorities for follow-up.
Upon receipt of a referral, and for the
duration of follow-up, regional public health
nurses collect standardized case and contact
information through client interviews, and by
reviewing hospital and laboratory records.
Information collected on each client includes
sociodemographic information (e.g., birth
date, gender, address of residence) as well as
clinical information (e.g., results of microbial
testing). Data are entered into the regional
public health information system (iPHIS), a
Web-based application that facilitates
charting of information on patients with
select notifiable communicable diseases
(Appendix A) among residents of the WHR or
for clients whose care is managed by the
WHR.

INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA
All confirmed cases of select notifiable
communicable diseases reported among
residents of the WHR at the time of diagnosis
between January 1, 2011 and December 31,
2016 were included in the analysis.
Anaplasmosis and Babesiosis were added to
The Public Health Act on January 1, 2015 and
as such only have two years of data available.
Cases with unknown gender and those with a
missing or invalid postal code were excluded.
VARIABLE DEFINITIONS
Infections were assigned to a calendar year
based on epidate (defined as the earliest of
specimen collection date and date reported
to public health). Age of the client at the time
of infection was defined using birth date and
epidate, and age groups were assigned based
on standard convention. Infections were
assigned to community areas (CAs) using
postal code of residence at time of testing
and the 2014 Manitoba postal code
conversion file.
STATISTICAL METHODS
Annual crude rates of communicable diseases
were calculated using the corresponding
year’s mid-point WHR population as the
denominator. Population data were derived
from the Manitoba Health Insurance Registry
and provided (in electronic format) by
Manitoba Health. Population counts for 2015
and 2016 were not available at the time of
analysis; therefore, 2014 population counts
were used for all rate calculations involving
communicable diseases reported in 2015 and
2016.
Rates were directly age-standardized to the
2006 Canadian population (provided by
Statistics Canada) and 95% confidence
intervals were calculated using the Tiwari et
al.3 formula. All analyses, including mapping,
were completed using StataMP 13 (StataCorp,
College Station, TX).
Communicable diseases with less than or
equal to 5 cases reported in 2016 were not
analyzed in detail, but total case counts for
these diseases were included in Table 1, and
within overall case counts where applicable
(such as under category totals). For diseases
with less than or equal to 15 cases, graphical
analysis was not completed and standardized
rates were not calculated as small case counts
may result in unstable rates and decrease the
usefulness of any comparisons within or
between groups.

LIMITATIONS
There are a number of limitations to consider
when interpreting the findings. The
surveillance data used for this analysis do not
permit exploration of populations defined by
factors other than geography, age, and sex. As
a result, analyses exploring other variables
such as education, income or behavioural risk
factors could not be readily undertaken.
Due to different standardization methods and
the choice of standard populations, age-
standardized rates may differ from other
published reports. Rates for single years by
small geographic areas can result in rates
being calculated based on a small number of
cases. These rates are unstable and should be
interpreted with caution. Rates may be
influenced by changes in testing practices and
patterns over time. Sharp increases in rates
in a time period may due to disease
outbreaks, which are not highlighted in this
report.
The number of reported cases is a fraction of
the actual count as it is limited to those
individuals who seek medical attention and
who have samples submitted for testing.
Despite these limitations, this report provides
timely, important and quantifiable insights
into select communicable diseases in the
WHR population to inform the planning of
programs and policies for prevention.

EMERGING INFECTIOUS DISEASES
This section of the report provides an overview of emerging infectious diseases that are being
monitored in the WHR. For this report, emerging infectious diseases include newly identified
species, new/evolved strains of a known infection, or known infections that are occurring in a
new population or new geographic region. In 2016, Zika Virus was the only emerging infectious
disease under surveillance in the region.
Zika Virus
In 2016, there were six laboratory-confirmed cases of Zika Virus in the WHR for a rate of 0.8 cases per 100,000 people. The mean age of cases was 38 years old (minimum 18, maximum 46).
